He was extricated without a murmur. I hesitate to record the many other instances of his sagacity, which rest, unfortunately, upon the statements of prejudiced friends. Some of them were not without a tinge of superstition. "I crep' up the bank just now," said Kentuck one day, in a breathless state of excitement, "and dern my skin if he wasn't a-talking to a jaybird as was a-sittin' on his lap.
"I went up to the desk where she was a-sittin' and gave it her, and by-and-by she opened it with the tips of her fingers, as if it would bite, and read it all through very careful, and I could see her nose going up gradual, and her colour coming, and then she sez to me, 'You may go now, boy; there's no answer. And I sez to her, 'If you please, miss, master said as I was not to go away without a answer. So she sez, uncommon short and stiff, 'In that case he shall have it! like that, she says, as proud as a queen, and she scribbles a line or two on it, and throws it to me, and goes on casting up figgers."
"Well, Jem," said Miss Elizabeth, as they sat facing each other at the little table, "it seems good to see somebody a-sittin' here an' eatin' besides myself. Hope ye won't git lonesome." "No danger of that, auntie, if you only give me something to do," was the cheerful response. "If that's all ye want, the land knows there's enough to be done," said his aunt with a laugh.

There's Leapin' Buck, now, a-sittin' as quiet as a Redskin warrior on guard! Take a lesson from him, lad, an' restrain yourself.
He has been too busy all his life to listen before now. But sittin' there in these days sit-tin' there, always a-sittin' there, Mr. Parker! Nothing to do but bend his ear to catch the whispers that come up out o' the great, deep lungs o' the universe!
Thy poor feyther 'ull ne'er anger thee no more; an' thy mother may's well go arter him the sooner the better for I'm no good to nobody now. One old coat 'ull do to patch another, but it's good for nought else. Thee'dst like to ha' a wife to mend thy clothes an' get thy victual, better nor thy old mother. An' I shall be nought but cumber, a-sittin' i' th' chimney-corner.
"Why, they're all a-sittin' as comfortable as you please, in a kind of a Eastern palace." Bobbie, who was almost delirious with delight and excitement, ran in to fetch Jerry. "Oh, Jerry, come out!" he cried. "The light gentlemen in a splendid blue cage with red stripes, come by train! And such guinea-pigs! Just the kind I wanted two long-hair.
